Vijayawada, July 20 (UNI) YSRCP president and former Chief Minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy condemned the arrest of YSRCP MP PV Midhun Reddy,

In a statement here on Sunday, the former Chief Minister said: “I strongly condemn the illegal arrest of YSRCP Lok Sabha MP P V Midhun Reddy. This is nothing but a political conspiracy designed to silence those who stand with the people. Midhun Reddy, who has been elected as a Member of Parliament for three consecutive terms, has been falsely implicated through forced confessions. This is a targeted act of political vendetta by the TDP Government to cover up its own scams and failures.”

The former Chief Minister said that the alleged liquor scam is nothing but a manufactured narrative, created purely for media theatrics and to divert attention from real issues. The entire case is built on statements extracted under pressure, threats, third-degree torture, and also through bribes and inducements.
